World of Beer stores typically carry about 50 beers on tap and hundreds of varieties in bottles. Shah said in a prepared statement that the venue will not include a kitchen, but it will partner with nearby restaurants that agree to deliver. Customers will be able to order from three or four restaurants, he said.

"Based on the success of the now 27 other WOB's in operation, and what they have brought to their surrounding areas, we look forward to helping Five Points South become the entertainment district it once was," Shah said.

The company is hiring about 50 people to staff the store and bar, he said.
